Mira. John Hoey, known as Mrs.
Russell, of forty years ago, has had a
career, and was, before Miss Kingdoms
marriage with Gould, perhaps the
wealthiest lady who ever married from
the stage. She married John Hoey,
now the principal man of the Adams
Express Company, the owner of. Long
Branch, and the possessor Of great
wealth in New York. She formerly
played in the Museum in this city for
many seasons. To her the American
public is indebted for the magnificent
system of dressing parts on the stage,
as she was the first to introduce it.
The great Fanny Kemble's life was
most unhappy. She married Pierce
Butler, a very wealthy man of Phila-
delphia, who owned a large plantation
in Georgia. Here they sometimes
lived. She married Butler when in the
height of her popularity. She was
probably the greatest actress that ever
graced the boards in her day. She
was also a prolific writer of plays,
stories, and poems, but was very
cratic. In 1916 she left her husband
and went to England and returned to
the stage. In 1913 she returned and
sued for a divorce, but after a long
trial the case was decided in favor of
Mr.. Butler. It was case of incompat-
Utility of temper. She has long since
retired into private life.
Miss Priscilla Cooper an actress,
left the stage to marry John Tyler, Jr.
She did the honors of the White House
during the time that her father-in-law,
John Tyler, was President of the United
States.
Ada Menken and her peculiar welded
experience are prominent in the annals
of the stage. Her real name was
Adelaide McCord. Abont 1858 she
married Alexander Isaac Menken, 3
musician, but their union was an un-
happy one and they were divorced in
Nashville. In 1859 she married John
G. Heenan, the pugilist, but they soon
quarreled They were divorced while
Heenan was in England, and in 1863
she married NJ. Newell, the journalist,
best known as "Orpheus G. Kerr" She
left with him for California, and prom
Used to leave the stage forever, but the
temptations were too strong and she
broke her word. She returned to
Gotham but soon went to England.
Then commenced train of most
brilliant successes. She had the first
lords of the realm at her feet. In 1865
she came back to New York, obtained a
divorce from Newell, returned to
Europe and lived a reckless life. In
Paris Louis Napoleon was one Of her
lovers. Her grave is in Mont Parnasse,
and on her tombstone are the two ex-
pressive words, "Thou kncwest. !"
Among quite recent alliances Of
wealth and the stage are the marriage
of Harry Weber, son of the millionaire
piano maker, to Irene Perry, bur-
lesque actress of Henry Dixey's COM
pany. and Miss Agnes Ethel to Francis
w. Tracy, o millionaire of Buffalo.
This latter lady was great favorite in
her line. Tracy, who, after great
rivalry, secured her hand, died re-

most people get so little out of it.
Now, there is the conversation of
hens, when the hens are busy and not
Self-cOnSciOuS: there is something faS-
cinauing about it, because the magma
ton may invest it with a reconcile and
spicy meaning; but the common talk of
people. We infer sometimes that the
hens are not saying anything. because
they do not read, and, consequently,
their minds are empty. And perhaps
we are right. AS to conversation, there
is no use in sending the bucket into the
well when the well is dry-it only makes
rafting of windlasS and chain.
The Drawer has been obliged to take
notice of the extraordinary tendency of
American women to cultivation, to the
improvement of the MUD by means of
reading, clubs and other intellectual eX-
erciSeS, and to acknowledge that they
are leaving the men behind; that is, the
men not III the Socalled professions. Is
this intellectualiZation beginning to
show i'll the conversation of women
when they are together. say in the hours
of relaxation in the penetralia spoken
of, or in general society? Is there less
talk about the fashion of dress. and the
dearness or cheapneSS of materials. and
about servants, and the ways of
the inchoate citizen called the baby,
and the infinitely little details of the
private life of other people? Is it so
that if group of men are talking, say
about politics, or robust business, or
literature, and they are joined by,,women
(whoSe company is always welcome),
the conversation is almost sure to take
a lower mental plane, to become more
personal. more frivolous. accommodate
ting itself to quite different range?
Do the well-read, thoughtful women,
however brilliant and capable of the
gayeSt perSitiage. prefer to talk with
men, to listen to the conversation OF
men, rather than to converse with or
listen to their own sex? If this is true.
why is it?
Women, as a rule, in society" at any
rate, have more leisure than men. In
the facilities and felicities of speech
they commonly excel men, and usually
they have more of the vivaci0uS dra-
matte power. which is called "Setting
out thing TO the life" With all these
advantages, and all the world open to
them in newspapers and in books, they
ought to be he leaders and stimulatorS

TO DRIVE AWAY WRINKLES.

Facial Rubbinss and Check Gym
nastics Warranted TO Remove
Them.
Toledo Blade.
Wrinkles are the bette noire of ladies
who have lost the freshness of youth.
and the feminine world has long sought
some harmless means of Graduating
them. Wrinkles are due to the gradual
wearing away of flesh underneath the
cuticle. Why does it wear away? Be
cause the facial muscles have either too
little or the wrong kind of exercise. 1t
will be observed Il at wrinkles usually
take a downward course. This is due
to the wrong kind of exercise. What
exercise? Why. the washing of the
face, to lie sure. Reverse the process,
and instead of rubbing the face down in
washing and wiping always rub upward.
This will have the effect Of c0unteract-
ing the tendency of the flesh to depart
from under the cuticle, and will keep
the face free from wrinkles.
1t is rather an awkward habit to ac-
quire at first, but perseverance will
make it second nature, and the result
designed particularly for the benefit of
the eyes and the upper portion of the
cheeks. Then. from the middle and
lower portion Of the face. where hollow
ness rather than wrinkles is often noted.
another plan must be taken. The facial
muscles are subjected to very slight ac-
tivity in the ordinary eXertionS of eat
ing and talking.
To fill the cheeks out plump and
round it is necessary to develop the
muscles. These mucleS are very slight
at the best, and any special effort well
directed will increase them in capacity
and size. An excellent exercise for this
purpose is this:
Take piece of soft leather-kid or
chamois skin will do-and put the end
of it between the teeth: then chew
gently upon it for several minutes, TAX
ing care not to raise the teeth from the
leather. If the teeth are raised it will
bring into play only the ordinary
muscles of mastication, whereas the
purpose is to develop those that are sell
dom used. One who tries this method
will find the cheek going through a
queer action that is anything but grace
full and pretty: nevertheless, it is inn
mensely effective and will restore to its
youthful plumpness even the most hol-
low cheek. Try it faithfully and you
will he convinced.

general feeling of society condemns a
man who lives to rule his wife on the
same principles as pasha rules his
harem. And indeed the whole scheme
of modern life makes 1t practically inn
possible for him to do so. A married
woman enjoys as rule compile liberty
during the lifelong day, and even at night
it is impossible for busy man to es-
cOrt his wife. Thus everything
turns on the relations be-
tween the married couple. If the girl
is really i'll love with the man she mar
rieS, she may be trusted with any amount
of subsequent freedom. If not, not;
and therefore we say that the injudi-
cious and worldly parents who are re-
Sponsible for the great majority of i'll
assorted unions are also responsible for
the many evil results which are to be
seen in society at this day. For it is
fact that rows of English girls are as
much forced into marriage as the French
girl, whose husband is selected while
she is yet in her convent, Not by main
force, nO---but by the whole tone of her
education, by the obvious necessity, OF
making way for a younger sister, by the
persistent scheming of her parents. and
by her own longing for emancipation.
For marriage undoubtedly does mean
emancipation to most women; and it is
precisely those who look forward to it
most who are likely to make the worst
use of it,

At that time the present Mrs. Stevens,
who was his second wife, was earning
her living in an adjacent manufacturing

Mr.. Stevens fell in love with her,
made her his wife and educated her.
She proved an apt scholar. She is a

BY her tact and wisdom she materially

does not consist in giving to institu-
